The pattern you already have
Mér er heitt. Mér er kalt. The person is in the dative and there is no ég. Pain works the same way, with illt and the preposition í:
Mér er illt í + the body part in the dative.
| My stomach hurts. | Mér er illt í maganum. |
This is the sentence you say to a doctor, so it is worth drilling until it is automatic. The body part takes the dative because it follows í with no motion.
| mér er illt í höfðinu | my head hurts |
| mér er illt í maganum | my stomach hurts |
| mér er illt í hálsinum | my throat hurts |
| mér er illt í bakinu | my back hurts |
New parts of the body
| hálsinn | the neck, the throat |
| munnurinn | the mouth |
| maginn | the stomach |
| nefið | the nose |
| hnéð | the knee |
| fingurinn | the finger |
| My throat hurts. | Mér er illt í hálsinum. |
Where you go for it
apótekið is the pharmacy — where the lyf and the pillur you already know come from.
| I buy the medicine at the pharmacy. | Ég kaupi lyfið í apótekinu. |
